I'll ask the question? Other than a marketing trick called "re-release", what is the point of this device? Its specs seem identical to the original Elfin. Please enlighten me.
no point at all.
except for maybe the look of the newest htc devices(Diamond,Raphael,S740)
elfin was't officially released in every country. In example here in Italy we don't ufficially had any "touchXL" (elfin), only generic "touch" that can be regular elf or elfin if you were lucky (or if you look for it by part number on box or turn on it, in fact i searched and found an elfin for myself )
so, this "new" device bring order in the chaos of world-wide mass market distribution
Hmm, that makes sense I guess. I certainly won't be getting one of those. Touch HD, here I come.
The Touch 3G (OPAL) has a better CPU more RAM and it's GPS enabled

The HTC Opal is not the HTC Touch 3G. The Opal is the same as the Eflin, only it has Manila interated, thats all.
Touch 3G (Jade) is much better!

The point is obviously to be price competitive, and make a cheap low-range device.
With the recession going on it can only be a good idea, and shows HTC has been thinking ahead.

what you say about diamond......
New fashion blinky device that is for commercial users
Lack of memory card support and 3.5" VGA is a no go for me. But I have to recognize that the other specs makes one of the best pda phones of the market in conjunction with the price.
wow, nice phone, but battey life BLOWS!!!!! 7 hours??? are u kidding me? and if u were to use data or gps, you wouldnt even get half a day.
Dont think its for serious business users. More of an IPHONE competitor. I hate it but id take the new IPHONE over it...depending on performance of course.
No not an Iphone fanboy just looking at phoen purpose. The diamond appears to be iphone comp. Its missing the big ass screen. Why doesnt HTC just slap a big ass screen on a phone. On the diamond they could have gotten rid of a few buttons and made the screen larger.
When the F*** is HTC gonna deal with battery needs??!
n'uff said
theres is also 2G ONLY variant of HTC Touch Diamond released in India. Same, but no HSDPA/WCDMA at all. Pirce is much better though.
2G Only variant will be at least US$200.00 cheaper than 2G+3G variant and will be on sale in India at RRP US$640.00, while RRP for 2G/3G handset in Taiwan is set at US$855.00.
check this page for details ( specifications):
http://www.htc.com/in/product.aspx?id=48110
there is also an American Variant with 3G bands 850 / 2100 Mhz...

One of the main points of the Touch Diamond is that it is considerably smaller and and thinner than the iPhone. I think the Touch Diamond is much more pocket-sized. A big screen would have made the phone bigger so, personally, I'm happy with the screen size.
I'm thinking of hacking that camera to see if I can get it to record VGA videos...That would be nice.

(seems to me accessible without Activesync as an external memory drive )
what is the OS version ?
5.2.19900 ?
may i have a copy of the dumped rom?
I guess all the variants are there because HTC couldn’t get all the antennas in the same device due to size restrictions.
It’s clear to see that they are using the same PCB across all the variants, to keep costs down. One example of this is they have kept the forward facing camera for the 2G version, not necessary as you clearly won’t be doing video calling on that!
a shame it doesn't have a hardware-keyboard and a memory-slot
nice phone tough!!
A shame it doesn't have a keyboard? Are you mad?
It is a shame about the memory expansion problem though...

I guess your options will be either the SonyEricsson Xperia X1 or the Touch Diamond Pro
no expansion slot!! man its bad
I keep asking this question:
What is the GSM radio firmware version for Diamond??
The CDMA version will be much better than this...
Arrh crap was really looking foward to this phone, Just found out it don't have a memory card slot, thats rubbish why why why
Up for sale is a HTC Touch Diamond WWE (world wide edition, works in every country) that I bought. It has been gently used and has been well protected. This phone is very nice but I don't need all the features and I find that the touch screen is hard to type with my fat fingers so I will probably go for one with a real keyboard after selling this. I upgraded the internal software (windows) to version 6.1 professional and upgraded the radio rom to support 3G quadband. Beware of other scammers selling Touch Diamond J6, that is the Asian clone for the diamond! It doesn't include Wifi or GPS! This phone just came out a couple months ago so the warranty still applies.
Here's what you get (retail price):
~HTC TOUCH DIAMOND WWE GSM unlocked unbranded, model number P3700 DIAM100, with 900mAh battery, back cover, and stylus $599
~Set of HTC headphones
~USB cable
~Extended 1900mAh battery with cover (lasts about 3-4 days) $40
~wall charger
~battery charger $10(you can take the battery out and charge it if you dont want to hook up the phone, useful when you want to charge both of the batteries at the same time)
~3.5mm headphone adapter $10(if you dont like the htc headphones like me, you can use regular headphones
~ZAGG InvisibleShield applied $30 (best protection from scratching that money can buy, extremely hard to apply, took me half an hour)
~extra stylus
~original box
Extra softwares include (retail price):
~Android 0.8! (operating system used on the T-Mobile G1, photo included)
~TomTom 7 with North American maps $150

Anyone who is interested can just PM me, I know it's not very secure to go through and buy an item from a forum member but if you want, we can go through eBay and PayPal (you pay the fees). The reason I've posted here is because I've been left with non-payers on eBay twice already (I can send you links to prove it if you want). It costed me about $30 for listing and whatever other fees so I'm a little annoyed. My eBay username is untrueparadox and my ExtremeOverclocking username is untrueparado (has a positive iTrader of 3). I'm from Los Angeles, CA in the USA, Zip Code 91006 if you want to quote for shipping (5 lb probably) or local pickup is also possible. I am asking for $350 because the highest price that went for was $400 for it shipped on eBay. Price is not set in stone and I will be flexible if nobody wants it.

Sorry, no OS replacement possible, complete incompatibility.
For example, have you seen the amount of installed RAM memory? How could Android be run on a 128 MB RAM device?
Anyway, you can use that car stereo with some of the best navigation softwares: iGo and TomTom.
Thank you for taking time and helping appreciated I guess I gotta live with it
And above all, the microphone for the bluetooth hands free works nicely on those chinese units!
